Skills council shakes up info training

Kim Thomas

Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK), the skills council for information services, is to replace the occupational standards for archivists and records managers with vocational qualifications.

The current separate standards for archives, information and library services, and records management were developed in the late 1990s, according to Peter Ramsden, standards and qualifications officer at LLUK, which inherited responsibility for the standards when it was formed in 2005.

The LLUK decided to merge the overlapping standards into one -- a move that gained widespread support during an initial consultation in 2006.

"We thought it would be easier to develop new qualifications which embraced the whole of the information workforce rather than part of it," said Ramsden.
